Appreciate the kind words for Zlimbratski, he’s a good dude who’s just trying to get started in the “industry” of KZfaq boomer shooter reviews. As I pointed out in the comment sections on his channel I find it ironic for Slipgate to target him specifically given he was like the only KZfaqr to give a positive review for Graven, everyone else called the game a piece of crap.

Thank you for the review. It’s interesting to have different feedbacks. It’s safe to say this game has major technical issues. But the way devs treated Zlim is such a shame. One thing I would like to know is if you had trouble to progress through the game with the “riddles” and computers to interact in order to progress. One recurring feedback I’ve seen is people being stuck for a long time and not figuring out what to do to progress. That could explain why you enjoyed more the game than others.

Had no idea that reviewers were having their opinions belittled by a studio who put out a game riddled with issues. Turns an okay game that I would normally keep my eye on into a game that I would rather not support if this is the sort of behavior the developers are exhibiting. The best game developers are the ones who recognize the faults in their games and put in the extra effort to address those issues.

I know you're a super nice guy with rarely anything negative to say and/or are super respectful when you say it... HOWEVER, the truth is 3D Realms is cancer. I recall bringing up some criticism of their games in the past on Steam and were met with devs who were outright toxic in their response. The publisher has also grossly mismanaged multiple projects, exploited their customers with big box preorders, and just generally released crappy game after crappy game. So colour me not surprised with what's happening with this latest trainwreck.

The whole thing with the leaks and disparaging comments, I think it's whatever. They can say what they wanna say, they can call us whatever names they want. I don't think it's a big deal. The larger issue is the attitude it reveals about their own product, which is obviously really flawed. Their reaction reveals that they actually think the released product is not only acceptable but great. And THAT is truly far more concerning than some name calling in their private discord. Thanks for the review. Good work as always, Kirk.

I have been watching you and Zlim for a couple years now and you two are very responsible for reigniting my love for 3d shooters. And even though I have interacted a lot with Zlim and not with you, its nice to know that the other creator I gravitated toward is a solid dude too. All that being said... I'll keep my eye on this game for the next several months and hope it gets some improvements/updates as it is right up my alley. If that point comes, I will jump on it. Thanks!

Found this review via google, as I had no idea where was a sequel to Ion Fury (which I am currently playing on Deck and am in love with it). Given that I grew up on these games and have seen the absolute jank in early FPS games, I'm pretty sure I can handle a few crappy AI bugs in a game trying to replicate an era that had its fair share of wonky AI. Gunplay looks fun and honestly, I really like Shelly. Might wait for a sale before I grab it though. Thanks for the middle-ground review.

Damn. I remember playing a game that has that kind of driving quirk too. Not the "big rigs style" of uncapped top speed in reverse, but it has the quirk where, reversing is not beholden to the physics that driving forward does. Stronger acceleration and torque, nonexistent physics and collission, and full tire grip, meaning, you can literally reverse out of a bad situation, like getting stuck on a ditch or in between vehicles, and it's very much viable to use cars to climb mountains; just drive up trunk-first.

Appreciate your thoughts on this one - I had high hopes for it and was a little deflated after seeing the early criticism for it because I wanted it to be excellent. I'm happy to hear that they worked on the shooting; it does look a bit more impactful in your footage than the earlier footage I'd seen. Looks like they've already issued the first patch, too, and although I'm glad to see bugs being squashed I really do hope they fix this one up right because Ion Fury really deserves a quality sequel. Love the attention to interactivity in this game but the bones need to be solid, boys! Prodeus doesn't have much you can interact with in comparison, but the shooting in that game is ohhh so satisfying.

Wrath and Graven are on my wishlist since a while ( as I prefered to go for games like Cultic before ), I'm interested by Phantom Fury since the day it was announced, as I liked the atmosphere from Ion Fury, but didn't enjoy to play it so much. Simple 3D is more enjoyable to me than complex 2D / complex 3D. More relaxing. I'm going to do like for Cyberpunk: wait for patches. And I'm sure AI problems could be solved, like vehicular sections. They might also add different enemies ? The arsenal looks dope. About the easiness, it means I might try another difficulty than normal this time 😂The thing that pleases me is the fact it's inspired by Half-Life, but more action oriented. I'm not a fan of enemies right now, like I wasn't for Half-Life's ones...If they can make enemies sneaky it could be fun. Like connecting them with a radio, and if one sees you, other ones would know, like in some Metal Gear's games.

I don't appreciate you calling out Zlimbratski. He's Swedish and bald. None of us in his community like him anymore, as he's gotten big enough that he ignores all of us in his stream chats and tells us he hates us for requesting games all the time so he has content to post. Plus, he smells like salted licorice and pastries. Obviously, I'm joking lol Zlim is awesome. Been a subscriber since he has about 280 subscribers, so it's awesome to see his channel grow like Kirk's here. The whole thing with 3D Realms and Slipgate and the leaked Discord chats, I mean what can you say to that? Just, well not very professional let's put nicely. Zlim is always so positive and obviously has a good time playing games and interacting with us - not to mention he is VERY rarely negative in his reviews of games even when the rest of us would be much more negative. The fact he specifically got "called out" so to speak like that, it is what it is but it's very disappointing coming from a popular indie shooter publisher and a company that doesn't have the best track record with games lately.

With this recent debacle, to vacuum up so much ip in such a short time, that it shot them in the foot when the bills come due, and it turns out, they can't decently fund half of them(very salty at them dropping Core Decay, and is currently very nervous about Tempest Rising)...it REALLY feels like 3DRealms attempted(and failed) to "speedrun" the success and prestige of the likes of New Blood Interactive and Nightdive Studios. Utterly missing the big point that, the success of those two came from their patience on building up their catalogues. I am genuinely baffled on what the HECK just happened. Cultic, Ion Fury, Ghostrunner...then, like a flip of a switch; Graven, Wrath, Phantom Fury. These recent three are not terrible games. But they are incredibly lackluster. What's frustrating about those recent games is that, each of them were so damn CLOSE to being another very good batch of titles into the retro-FPS roster, but but really feels like they've been rushed out the door. And let's not forget the Kingpin Remaster by the way...

Ion Fury was an excellent game. Not sure how we went from that to Phatom Fury which is at best 'generic shooter #827' territory.

Thank you so much for not being part of the cringe drama. It seems it also kinda hurt you, but you made an excellent balanced review. Thats respect. I think developers must adequately accept unconstructive criticism, but so do KZfaqrs. I want a normal review from a KZfaqr, and not a weapon to punish people who offend him or his colleagues. The fact that part of the community began to pretend like It's a new 'Hunt Down the Freeman' is super cringe imo (played it on release, guilty pleasure and it's nice).

On the other hand, if this super cringe makes 3DR not abandon the game, then maybe it’s worth it.

This game looks pretty fun in a "flawed but enjoyable" sort of way. The only problem is that it has to live up to Iron Fury but I'll look at this own it's merits, comparing games to only stuff in it's franchise is dumb dogmatic bullshit anyway, I am willing to most who do this probably play the same games over and over and then angry when you give their favorite game criticism.

The level design is one of the worst ive seen in games in general in recent years. thats why no patches will help this game. and no review mentioned one thing - in the 10 hour campaign there are 12 enemies, including two tank encounters, stationary turrets and one soldier with 3 different types of armor counted as three.

Excellent review as always but I’ll say this…I would rather purchase and play a game like this with its flaws instead of wasting money and time on most “triple A” games that are released these days.These smaller developers don’t have to release perfection every single time to catch my attention because I,like a lot of others love these games!Long live the boomer shooters!

Not Capstone but this reminds me of Rex Blade: The Apocalypse. The dev wanted to spend 12-18 months making the game good with some advanced features, but was instead only given 45 days for the alpha alone.

I’m not sure on the specifics of what went down with the drama surrounding this game, but I will say I understand devs getting upset at the amount of criticism constantly being thrown their way by fans/reviewers for decisions not made by the devs themselves but instead made by their project managers/publishers. Especially over at 3DR, the comment sections under most of their trailers are super negative and not at all constructive from what I’ve seen. I feel like that must take a toll on the developers moral. I’m sure if it were up to the devs they would delay these games until the bugs/issues were ironed out instead of rushing them out the door then crunching to fix bugs in forthcoming patches. Feels kinda similar to what happened with cyberpunk. That being said there are some valid criticisms to be made here.

Game setting, design, graphics and mechanics set up to play like late-90s / early-00s FPS shooter by intention; criticized for playing like and looking like an late-90s / early-00s FPS shooter... I don't have a dog in this fight (watched the vid' from 4:00 to 8:50), I haven't even played the game-- and only mildly curious about it, but not really any more though, but I have to say--criticisms like I alluded to in the first sentence of this post is exactly why more and more I've just been giving up on YT reviews.

Sorry, but holding devs to a higher standard than KZfaqrs who can influence many, many others is really rather stupid. Also, the way this went - their steam blowing was not supposed to be seen, and when the community turns into asshole babies over it and then the devs push back - well, sorry, neither of those sides get any excuse - and I find it very convenient when influencers want to hold others to standards they themselves cannot live up to. A lot of you guys and gals love getting very toxic in varies ways for the clicks, so i say - live in the world you helped to create and take a big whiff. "I can be toxic in videos, fans can be toxic on forums, but any dev must be Jesus Christ" - also, most of the people making a game are not artists, so nice try with the "take the feedback and be better" bs. Also, you have a VERY bad historic understand of how artists have acting over time and just what was and was not expected form them. Oh, and no, I am not over using the term toxic, plenty of that sort of stuff is not in your face - like many other bad ways of acting or being. If this triggers you, go whine about it on X or which ever reddit sub will echo chamber you to sleep best.

You have one of the better takes on what happened, and the the people who disagree with you are part of the problem. But that's the boomer shooters scene for you, they have become a hivemind so anything alternate is insane to them. They need to be abandoned again. Now I see why Bungie ditched them. Alot of influencers are not worthy of there popularity, as they are just spoiled man children like jared or the dude that wanted to cancel 3Drealms over a disagreement. The issue with that is the hivemind which KirkCollects addressed in the intro, influencers afraid to debate and challenge narratives. Artists are some of the most narcisstic people for a reason, but these aren't artists these are devs and they make things, but what do influencers make? Nothing! So why do they act so high and mighty? Because they can make are break your appeal? Sounds like extortion. If you don't do bow down to us we will review bomb your game? That whole scenario was cringe, but the influencers made it worse because they ended up being the fire starters.
